Life presents you with varied opportunities in your daily existence. Any day or night, you encounter events and you deal with them. This continuous change improves your zeal for life. Some of these happenings excite you and make you happy. Some others try to unravel you or scare you even while you deal with them. Some others do not arouse any special emotion.
An important need in life is to be able to master your emotions to deal with any events of life. It is easy to simply state this fact but mastering your emotions is no joke. You need immense willpower, strength, and belief in your capabilities. Emotions are your reaction to a situation. Such emotion in your brain and mind translates into the type of physical behavior you respond with.
Without any reaction, emotion is meaningless. The return trip of Apollo 13
was miraculous. When the crew encountered problems, they contacted Houston for help. That was no great deal. Effective implementation of corrective measures to avert a serious and major mishap may only be possible if you have nerves of steel. The crew of Apollo 13 kept their focus on having a safe landing and that it is exactly what they did.
This classic example of keeping your emotions under total control displays appreciable grit and determination. They fought against all odds and emerged successful.
